There are lots of raping, theft, robbery, drug abuse, murder, fights in USA and i think all are Christians. Why? Is this what they are taught to do?

There's just such a high percentage of Christians in America that there's bound to be a Christian majority among prisoners. However, one would think that a Christian, following the words of a God who preaches peace, would not commit any crimes, in which case our crime rate would be nearly microscopic.

You seriously think the U.S. is filled with Christians? Pah-leeeze. A Biblical Christian is a person who makes a decision to accept salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ and to follow in the ways of Jesus. Does this really describe most people you know?
All crime exists because mankind is fallen and sinful and in need of a Savior. If more people really turned to follow Jesus, this world would be a much better, safer place.

What a lazy sod you are! You come up with some dopey theory, and then ask OTHERS to defend/argue against it.
Show us some facts and figures! Show a little intellectual integrity! Show some REASON!
If not we'll just think you are just some angry, pimple faced, 14 year old who can't get a girlfriend and who takes it out on whatever group he thinks will generate the most noise.

Let's see some evidence that the people getting arrested for rape, theft, drugs, and murder are disproportionately practicing Christians.

I don't know why, but it's true. For those who don't believe that Christians are, in fact, represented at a higher rate in prison populations than the general population, see the link.

Do you hang out with a lot of criminals? What makes you think their Christians?
Christians try to imitate Christ. Usually that doesn't include crime sprees on Sundays after church.

The key word in your irresponsible, nonsensical

It's one nation under god. What a god to allow all this. Most americans who are murdered are killed by other americans yet they are so concerned about being killed by foreign terrorists.
